Styles of Dance


Ballroom dance encompasses a wide variety of Dance Styles including traditional ballroom, latin, swing, and contemporary partner dances. Kids learn all of these styles in our youth classes.

We highly recommend ballroom classes for kids ages 6 & up. Boys and girls are introduced to upbeat dance styles like the cha cha and salsa, as well as sophisticated styles like the waltz and tango. Dedicated students have the opportunity to progress through intermediate and advanced level classes, as well as performance and competition classes.
